Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

overheard some ex-military types (one a co-worker, others customers) at my job talking about getting jobs as contractors and being flabbergasted how quickly and urgently they need them to deploy
i mean it's just a couple of people but the first place my brain goes to is "oh fuck the U.S. knows whats about to go down and is getting ready to join in"
I was surprised the the NYT put the link at the top of the homepage and the title was free of sugarcoating and euphemisms. We are headed for who-knows-what.
I'd love for a liberal to explain to me how people need to support Biden while he aids, funds, and arms Israel's continuing genocide that might result in a war with Hezbollah and then the war could lead to a war with Iran that the US would fight too. There's no way the US stands back if Israel and Iran go to war. The libs favorite go-to is some variation on "Trump would be worse" but that's a hard sell when you actually consider that the US must support a genocide so it could lead to a second war vastly bigger and dangerous war and that war could spiral out of control to involve yet another American forever war. This time with Iran. That would be three contiguous countries. Do we get a free sub sandwich?
Why I am supposed to support a genocide again? The logic really doesn't make any sense even to an American ghoul who doesn't care if 10,000s more Palestinians suffer, starve, and die.
Free of sugar coating? If war with Hezbollah starts, it's because Israel attacked lmao. Perfect example of "police involved shooting" type article
Something can be aggressively decontextualized and still not sugar-coated
Biden deploys record number of troops to Jordan
